over So, 900, 600 week on an average. We have
three smelters running day and night seven
days in the week. The First Congregational
Church of Denver, where I preach, now has
membership of $50 and congregation of about
thousard--all that can be seated. We lost
couple of Republican families during the cam
paign. There was some accession OF Democratic
families. Our politics are quite different from
yours here in Indianapolis. Some of the hrst
families Out there are Democratic During the
last campaign almost the whole issue was
monopoly and anti-monopoly, not so much
matter of Democracy and Repablicanlsm.

GOING TO CHEAPER QUARTERS.
Mrs. Woodworth's Collections Prove INSULT
cient to Pay Her Present Hall Expenses.

Two green flags, emblematic of patriotic Erin,
hung doggedly above the heads of Mrs. Wood
worth and her troupe at their services yester-
day. But 1t is the last time they will do so, as
Mrs. Woodwork has been compelled, by the
managers of Masonic Hail, to evacuate, and she
has found a new home in the African NJ. E.
Church, on Michigan street. near Indiana ave-
nue., where her labors will be prosecuted with
her usual vigor
Yesterday capped the climax in numbers
who could not resist the power, and in the after
noon eight and in the evening dozen more, lay
in a trance about the altar. But preceding the
evening services the experience Of several re-
claimed sinners who had passed through the
trance act were related, and the accounts
were more graphic because of their
effort and evident sincerity, than from
their diction and ideas. The same expert
ences. of seeing relatives, pits Of damnation and
the like, were repeated BY each until the thing
became monotonous. One woman asked for
more trances-they could call it the devil if you
liked-but she wanted more.
An admission fee of 10 cents was charged last
night, and the reason of this was that the man
aging committee who have charge Of the thing
are $50 short in their work, and they cannot live
off the collections, which amount to Only 81 or
S. day. The rent of Masonic Hall is $40 a
week, which was not more than half paid by
the collections. At the African Church, how
ever, no admission will be charged, but the usual
collection will be taken up. The audience was
very large yesterday afternoon and last even
ing and standing room could scarcely be found.
Pick pockets made a raid on the audience after
the services were out and made quite haul.
| Attorney Israel Klngensmith lost gold watch
| and chain, and one gentleman reported at the
station house the loss of his pocket-bo con.
| tanning several dollars A half-dozen other
persons who did not report, are said to have lost
| small amounts.

VIOLATING THE LAW AGAIN.
Under the New Police Administration the Sa
looms Generally Resume Sunday Selling.

The saloons yesterday carried on their bust
ness the same as on other days. All the places
on Washington street were open, and at most
of them admittance could be gained in the usual
way through the front door. A few of the more
timid saloon-keepers kept their front doors
locked, and passed the thirsty through the side
or rear door. The police offered but little in
reference One or two conscientious patrolmen
attempted to do their duty, but when they found
they were to receive no encouragement, they al
lowed the vioators to go undisturbed. Mccain,
who has high sense of what his duty is, caught
George W. Dipple, who keeps place
on the corner of Michigan and
Pine streets selling early yesterday morning and
escorted him to the station-house. Whether Mr..
Mccain will be dismissed for this performance
of duty remains to be seen. j. w. Fisher, who
has been the subject of much complaint ac-
count of the character of his place on the lower
end of Virginia avenue, was arrested by patrol
man Higgins He was not caught selling any
thing, and was therefore charged with desecrat-
ing the Sabbath. Altogether it was just the
sort of a day the saloons admire, and they are
boastlng that they are once more on top

Scarcity Of Ouails and Squirrels.

"Game has been plentier this year than for q
decade" remarked a market-house dealer on
Saturday night. ''The exceptions" he contn-
ued, shave been small game, especially squirrels
and quails. Heretofore we have had no trouble
in securing the quails and squirrels from the
hunters OF the surrounding country, but this
year we have had to depend largely on the more
remote counties-mostly those down White
river"
"How do you account for this scarcity9r was
asked
"Weli, hardly know. unless, in the case of
quails it is because the law regulating their
killing is not observed as it should be. The
squirrels, as the country becomes more thickly
settled. are leaving for the States further west.
I think it would be good thing for the present
Legislature to pass law prohibiting the killing
of quails for FIVE years."

The Enterprise Taking Shape.
Chief Engineer Healey and his associate eng-
neers. on Friday last, completed the surveys
for the new bridge over the river at Cairo, and a
force of one hundred men will be put at work
this morning on the great enterprise. Both ap-
proaches will be and half mile long EACH
and the bridge proper, between the piers, will be
nearly a mile long. making the entire structure
about four miles long. The Kentucky approach
will run mainly through Capt. W. P. Halliday 8
land, and he has made all necessary concessions.
The Illinois approach will not require any trestle
work, but will be solid earth and stone-work, be-
ginning at point some distance above the Cross
levee, on the main l;ne and coming down in a
curve, parallel with the main track and the
Cross levee. striking the river about opposite
the cotton compress. The bridge will be fifty
three feet above high water, which will bring it
one hundred and five feet above low-water mark
there. The grade will be about thirty five feet
to mile, and the top of the first stone pier on
the Illinois side will be about thirty-six and a
half feet above the top of the levee.

Making a Good Beginning.


The train records for the week ending Jan. 8
show that fair volume of traffic is moving, and
inquiry shows that the exhibit would have been
even more favorable but for the general COM
plant that cars are scarce. The oldest freight
men say that they have never before known
scarcity of cars to prevail so long as it has this
siege Neither In local nor through business can
cars be commanded to move property as prompt
ly as is desirable. An examination of the weekly
statement shows that total of 1000 cars were
handled last week, against total of Is, AGO in
the week ending Jan. l, and against IL, 499 the
corresponding week, 1886. However, it will be
noticed that ZIG fewer loaded cars were handled
last week than in the week preceding, while
there were 2,2l5 more loaded cars received and
forwarded at this point last week than in the
| first week of January, 1886 This statement is
certainly gratifying, it shows that the inn
provement in railroad traffic is of healthy
character. East bound there is a good export
| movement while the shipments of grain to in
! terror points of New York and New England are
| not as heavy last month. West bound, the
| tonnage is a surprise. The Bee-line last week
brought West eghty-fve more loaded cars than

Debate on the German Army Bill.

AIeUat0 on the herman army Bill.
BERLIN, Jan. s.--Prnted copies OF the amend
ed army bill will be distributed in the Reichstag
on Monday.
The debate on the second reading of the meas
ure, on Tuesday promises to be a stormy one.
Prince Bismarck has announced his intention of
remaining in Berlin until the fate of the bill
shall have been decided In government cir
cles less confidence is felt as to the
passage of the BILL and there are indica-
tons that Prince Bismarck is open to
a compromise. 1t is believed he would accept
an amendment limiting the operations of the bill
to five years, but he will certainly reject any
proposal for q term of three years, and will i'm
mediately dissolve the Reichstag if that body
ment relies upon the fears of a dissolution in
fuencng the members of the Centre and Pro-
gressists parties, and one OF the results of
an election would probably be q
played by the Clerical members of the commits
sion toward the close of the debate showed no
symptoms of dread of dissolution of Parla-
ment Herr Windthorst, the Clerical leader,
had sharp interchange of words with General
Won Scheliendorff remark by the former
that Germany was living in state of pro-
found peace; that she was in alliance
with Austria and Russia, while she was men
aced nowhere. General Won Scheendorff de-
clared that as War Minister he had nothing to
do with political considerations, adding that the
government had not had reason to expect that
the Reichstag would oppose the septennate.
The bill had already been twice voted, and he
was confident that the Reichstag would finish by
| voting for it again.
Herr Windthorst responded angrily that the
| Reichstag would make concession beyond
| what the commission recommended, even if
| menaced with a coup d. etat.
Further soreness was caused by General Won
| Schellendorffs refusal to state or discuss what
| financial resources the government relied on to
| cover the extra expenditures. On the whole,
| the prospects are unfavorable to the govern

ably be in the same ratio for the triennate as in
